  1577. <h3>Thunderbolt 3 &amp; 4 External GPU Enclosure Overview</h3>
  1578. <p>External graphics card adapter or external GPU enclosure is an ever-developing solution for laptop users who need more power (than integrated graphics) for gaming, AR/VR development, AI/machine learning, and many other high demand computing tasks. Thunderbolt 3 &amp; 4 can now be integrated to the same physical port as USB-C. Flexibility and convenience is Thunderbolt 3 &amp; 4&#8217;s best selling point so it became the chosen standard input/output for external graphics solution. A single laptop that&#8217;s highly portable for daily use would transform into a capable gaming machine or workstation thanks to the power of an external graphics card.</p>
  1579. <h3>External GPU Components</h3>
  1580. <p>There are more than a dozen of Thunderbolt 3 external graphics solutions (eGFX) currently available. They share the same core components to enable external GPU for laptop with a Thunderbolt 3 &amp; 4 connection. In this buying guide we focus on the eGPU boxes rather than the main host computer. We have also written an <a href="https://egpu.io/best-laptops-external-gpu/" rel="noopener noreferrer">ultrabook laptop buying guide</a> if you&#8217;d like to learn more about the other end of the equation.</p>
  1581. <p>An Intel-certified Thunderbolt 3 external GPU enclosure must have these four components:</p>
  1582. <ul>
  1583. <li>Thunderbolt 3 Controller – Alpine Ridge is most popular while the newer Titan Ridge also works with USB/C systems (non-eGFX use).</li>
  1584. <li>USB-C Controller – Texas Instrument TPS65983 chipset has the best compatibility with host systems and regulates power delivery.</li>
  1585. <li>Power Supply – Internal PSU for all-in-one eGPU dock or external power adapter for smaller footprint/quieter &amp; cooler operation.</li>
  1586. <li>Enclosure/Case – This component pays for R&amp;D and therefore no Thunderbolt-3-mainboard-only solution is available for DIYers.</li>
  1587. </ul>
  1588. <h5>External GPU Features</h5>
  1589. <p>External graphics card for laptop is what a sidecar is to a motorcycle; it adds capacity and utility only when needed while also remaining mobile. The convenient plug-and-play connectivity allows hot-plug and surprise removal. Besides the graphics performance boost, there are several note-worthy features some Thunderbolt 3 external graphics card enclosures provide.</p>
  1590. <ul>
  1591. <li>Power Delivery – Standard 15W for downstream bus-powered devices and up to 100W for upstream charging for Thunderbolt 3/USB-C laptops.</li>
  1592. <li>Expansion I/O – A wide host of connectivity protocols ranging from Ethernet and USB 3.0 ports to SATA drive and Audio IN/OUT.</li>
  1593. <li>Daisy-Chain – Up to six devices can connect to the host system through a single Thunderbolt 3 cable via the dual port eGPU case.</li>
  1594. </ul>
  1595. <h5>External GPU Performance</h5>
  1596. <p>The actual performance of your laptop + external graphics card depends on many variables. Beginning with Intel 6th generation U and H processors, many laptops have Thunderbolt 3 connectivity. Appropriate pairing of processor and external graphics card would prevent CPU-bottlenecking during use. Generally speaking, an external graphics card performs at best 80% of desktop-level when gaming. External GPUs perform much better in computing tasks with many scenarios seeing very marginal loss or none at all when the application is designed to take advantage of an external graphics card.</p>
  1597. <ul>
  1598. <li>CPU Architecture – Quad-core CPU helps minimize performance loss. A laptop with Intel 8th gen and newer CPU is recommended.</li>
  1599. <li>PCIe Lane – x4 PCIe connection over Thunderbolt 3 provides optimal bandwidth. Direct CPU attachment on H-CPU systems for best performance.</li>
  1600. <li>Cooling System – Proper cooling for external GPU enclosure as well as Thunderbolt 3 connection through the system PCH &amp; CPU.</li>
  1601. <li>Thunderbolt 3 Cable – A passive .5m provides full 40Gbps bandwith and 100W PD. Active cable provides same bandwidth in longer sizes.</li>
  1602. <li>Application Design – Well-optimized software and games deliver the best eGPU experience.</li>
  1603. </ul>
  1604. <h5>External GPU Setup</h5>
  1605. <p>Windows is the most mature operating system with external graphics support. Most Thunderbolt 3 Windows systems requires no manual setup. Once connected, Windows can detect and configure appropriate drivers for the external graphics enclosure enclosure and the installed graphics card. Recent Linux distros have great support for Thunderbolt 3 as well. The main issue is driver installation and screen output configuration. Apple has been improving eGFX support in macOS. Unfortunately AMD is the only choice starting with Mojave 10.14. Boot Camp mode to run Windows on a Mac also lacks official external GPU support. At eGPU.io, we have built a community of external graphics card enthusiasts who provide creative solutions for non-officially supported configurations.</p>

  1892. <p><!-- --></p>
  1893. <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Pros</strong></span></p>
  1894. <ul>
  1895. <li><span style="font-size: 16px;">a x1 M.2 <strong>NGFF</strong> port is commonly used to host a <strong>WLAN</strong> card in the latest notebooks</span></li>
  1896. <li><span style="font-size: 16px;">a x4 M.2 <strong>NVME</strong> port is used to host <strong>NVMe SSDs</strong> in the latest notebooks<br />
  1897. </span></li>
  1898. <li><span style="font-size: 16px;">a 32Gbps-M.2&#215;4 eGPU <strong>NVMe eGPU outperforms a 32Gbps-TB3 eGPU by over 20%</strong> as seen <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/builds/2015-15-dell-precision-7510-q-m1000m-6th4ch-gtx-1080-ti-32gbps-m2-adt-link-r43sg-win10-1803-nando4-compared-to-tb3-performance/" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a></span></li>
  1899. <li>suggested tabled eGPU adapters all have a <strong>12V-&gt;3.3V voltage regulator</strong>, insurance against overcurrent damage to your host system&#8217;s precious M.2 NVMe or M.2 NGFF slot and so are costlier than basic PCIe risers without it</li>
  1900. </ul>
  1901. <p><!-- --></p>
  1902. <p><span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>Cons</strong></span></p>
  1903. <ul>
  1904. <li><span style="font-size: 16px;">use of a x4 M.2 NVMe port for eGPU use is often impractical unless have a secondary drive slot/port. 2 or more M.2 NVMe slots are limited to only a few notebooks and NUC systems.</span><span style="font-size: 16px;"><br />
  1905. </span></li>
  1906. <li><span style="font-size: 16px;">requires cumbersome underside system M.2 port access though <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/custom-egpu-chassis/oculink-what-it-is-why-you-need-it-and-where-to-get-it/paged/24/#post-110589">emerging OCuLink-cabled M.2 NVMe adapters</a> are attempting to correct this</span></li>
  1907. <li><span style="font-size: 16px;">M.2 port can be whitelisted, deactivated or cause Windows boot issues by BIOS when no vendor certified device is detected. Can prototype test for this using a low cost M.2 NVMe to PCIe adapter like used <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/expresscard-mpcie-m-2-adapters/hp-15s-eq2016nu-bios-locked-down/">here</a>.</span></li>

  2240. <description><![CDATA[The OSMETA GK01 offers outstanding performance at a fraction of the cost of a Thunderbolt eGPU, and is a far more refined M.2 solution than the fixed-cable offerings from ADT-Link. If your system has a spare M.2 port and you are willing to modify the bottom panel of the device, you can create an outstanding external graphics card solution that is affordable, versatile and unrestricted by bandwidth bottlenecks. Furthermore, the continued popularization and adaptation of OCuLink by laptop manufacturers is an excellent direction for the eGPU market.]]></description>
  2241. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Thunderbolt and external PCIe Devices</h3>
  2242. <p>Thunderbolt has been the dominant interface for attaching graphics cards and other PCIe devices to laptops for over ten years now. Created by Intel with collaboration with Apple, it is a brilliant all-in-one solution to providing data and power to host devices. However, it is a proprietary connection that requires both software and hardware to properly interface between a host and external devices, and is limited by 4 lanes of PCIe Gen 3.0 bandwidth and protocol overhead. This can restrict performance in bandwidth-demanding applications, and compatibility issues between devices is not uncommon. Furthermore, Thunderbolt devices tend to me more expensive than their non-proprietary counterparts, due to the specific technology the interface requires.</p>
  2243. <p>While the introduction of USB 4.0 is an excellent and more cost-effective competitor to Thunderbolt, it still suffers from the same bandwidth and compatibility issues.</p>
  2244. <p>Recently, there has been an increased adoption of non-Thunderbolt eGPU connectors making their way into the mainstream market. Asus has introduced a proprietary eGPU connector with its <a href="https://rog.asus.com/external-graphic-docks/rog-xg-mobile-2023-model/" target="true" rel="noopener">ROG XG Mobile external GPU</a>. GPD has added a non-proprietary OCuLink SFF-8612 connector to its <a href="https://gpd.hk/gpdwinmax2techspecs" target="true" rel="noopener">2023 refresh of the GPD Win Max 2</a> and AYANEO has announced it will be <a href="https://twitter.com/carygolomb/status/1663181630419116034" target="true" rel="noopener">adding the same OCuLink port to their AYANEO 2S</a>. Interestingly, there also exists an <a href="https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005004844816299.html" target="true" rel="noopener">AliExpress dual-screen 16&#8243; laptop</a> sold under the name CRELANDER which also features an OCuLink port.</p>
  2245. <h3>M.2 &#8211; the ugly alternative</h3>
  2246. <p>Adding an external graphics card without having a Thunderbolt port available has been achieved through a variety of internal ports that run off of PCIe lanes, the most effective of which being the M.2 port. Designed with the intention of being occupied by an NVMe SSD, the M.2 port contains up to 4 PCIe lanes, and is often routed directly to the CPU instead of through a PCH. However, until recently there has only been awkward, fixed-cable eGPU solutions available to the consumer market for adapting an M.2 Port such as the ADT-Link R43SG 4.0 / K43SG, often resulting in needing to have the bottom panel of a device entirely removed to be utilized.</p>
  2247. <p>With the introduction of PCIe Generation 4.0, 4 PCIe lanes essentially doubled in bandwidth. This removed the bottleneck of the previous generation, and along with a non-proprietary connection in the form of OCuLink, the market has provided a cost-effective and high-performance option for adding an eGPU to an existing M.2 Port.</p>
  2248. <h3>OCuLink &#8211; the solution</h3>
  2249. <p>OCuLink is a non-proprietary PCIe interface developed by PCI-SIG, the organization for standardization of the PCI interface and was designed to compete with Thunderbolt in 2012. Without the market dominance and manufacturing influence of Intel and Apple, OCuLink remained mostly within the enterprise / server industry and outside of the general consumer market.</p>
  2250. <p>That is until recently, when the Chinese domestic market began creating OCuLink eGPU solutions. These are extremely simple devices that convert an M.2 card into an OCuLink SFF-8612 connector that is then routed into a PCIe Riser PCB that has provision for the power requirements of a standard ATX GPU. This offers a cheap and relatively clean compromise to the fixed-cable M.2 eGPU solutions of the past. Furthermore, it is possible to modify the bottom panel of a laptop to create an almost-native port, meaning the OCuLink eGPU can be unplugged and removed from the host without having to disassemble or reassemble the device.</p>
  2251. <h3>The OSMETA GK01<strong><br />
  2252. </strong></h3>
  2253. <p>One of the first OCuLink eGPU solutions available to the consumer market is the OSMETA GK01. Previously only available to the Chinese domestic market, it can be purchased through SuperBuy and will likely make its way to AliExpress with the continued adaptation of native OCuLink ports in modern handheld gaming devices.</p>
  2254. <p>The total cost including delivery to Australia for all the OSMETA GK01 components required for an eGPU system were USD ~$88. All components were purchased through SuperBuy.</p>

  2261. <h3>Design and Features</h3>
  2262. <p>The OSMETA GK01 (often sold under the title <em>MorningStar</em> on SuperBuy) is essentially only the PCIe Riser PCB portion of the 3-part eGPU kit. OSMETA also provides a bracket for either an ATX, SFX or 1U Flex-ATX PSU and the M.2 OCuLink adaptor which also has three configurations. The PSU bracket style and M.2 option will be determined by the user&#8217;s host device and power supply preference.</p>
  2263. <figure contenteditable="false" data-attachids="15494">

  2265. </figure>
  2266. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2267. <p>The PCB of the OSMETA GK01 is fairly simple, and consists of a full length PCIe Port, a 24-PIN ATX Power Input, an OCuLink SFF-8612 Female Port, two switches and four jumpers.</p>
  2268. <p>The four pins at the rear of the PCB are for an external power switch. The left pins on the left are the switch and the two pins on the right provide power for an LED. If no external power switch is being used, a pin-bridge is used to enable the eGPU to power on automatically with the host or manually with the <em>SW-PSON</em> switch. If left completely unbridged, the eGPU will not turn on.</p>
  2269. <p>The switch marked <em>SW-HOST</em> determines whether the eGPU will power on with the host device. If switched to Disable, the eGPU will not power on with the host and will have to be manually powered on. Based on my testing, the automatic power-on feature of the OSMETA GK01 will ONLY work with a OSMETA M.2 to OCuLink adaptor.</p>
  2270. <p>The pins marked <em>RED</em> and <em>BLUE</em> in the middle of the PCB determine whether or not the corresponding LEDs that run along the side of the PCB will activate when the eGPU is powered on. Removing these pins will disable the LEDs.</p>

  2277. <h3>Setup</h3>
  2278. <p>Installing the OSMETA GK01 into the bracket is done with 6 M2 screws. The power supply can then be mounted with the required screws and GPU can be installed into the slot and also screwed into place. The cables from the PSU are exposed, so it is recommended to use a modular PSU to minimize clutter.</p>

  2285. <p>Installing an M.2 OCuLink card into a system will vary based on the host device. In my case, I installed the adaptor into a Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G2, and modified the bottom panel by cutting an opening for the OCuLink port to pass through. Originally I covered the 14mm round-hole with tape cut around the OCuLink port. This is the simplest method, as it offers a high margin of error and doesn&#8217;t require many tools. In my second attempt, I created a metal bracket from a cut-down OCuLink PCIe Card to cover a much smaller hole that was cut to the shape of the OCuLink port with the use of a 3.5mm drill bit and multiple hand files.</p>
  2286. <p>While it will vary depending on the host device&#8217;s thickness, the OCuLink port in my ThinkBook 14 G2 extended only a few millimeters outside of my device. This is lower than the factory installed rubber standoffs that the laptop has, and can be used on a desk or lap without damaging the OCuLink port when not attached to the eGPU.</p>

  2293. <p>The most simple and effective way to locate where to drill through a laptop&#8217;s bottom panel is to remove it and place a piece of double sided tape on the inside of the bottom panel at the approximate position of the OCuLink Port. Then, carefully line up the bottom panel as if you were to place it back on the laptop, and slowly lower it until the installed OCuLink port pushed against the double sided sticky tape. This will create an indentation on the tape, which will be exactly where you have to drill.</p>
  2294. <figure contenteditable="false" data-attachids="15498">

  2296. </figure>
  2297. <p>I created my port cover by cutting up a PCIe bracket. However, this is a good example of where a simple round 3D printed plate with an OCuLink port in the middle that could be glued or double-sided sticky taped to the underside of a laptop would be a neat and cost effective solution.</p>
  2298. <p>If you are concerned about your devices warranty, consider buying a replacement bottom panel from AliExpress or similar, and using it for the OCuLink modification. That way, you retain the original panel with serial numbers for any warranty claims.</p>
  2299. <h3>Installation</h3>
  2300. <p>Before attaching the eGPU, I highly recommend that you do the following: <br />
  2301. &#8211; Make a copy of your Windows BitLocker recovery key, in case your system locks you out during the installation process<br />
  2302. &#8211; Disable Windows Fast-Startup<br />
  2303. &#8211; Disable PCIe Power Saving<br />
  2304. &#8211; Nando4&#8217;s nvidia-error43-fixer (If you have an NVIDIA GPU)<br />
  2305. &#8211; Download the latest version of your graphics card drivers<br />
  2306. &#8211; Disable your internet connection prior to installing the eGPU to stop Windows from automatically installing drivers for the GPU</p>
  2307. <p>With the host device shut down, attach the OSMETA GK01 eGPU and power your system on. The OSMETA GK01 should automatically power-on with the host device. If it doesn&#8217;t, check the SW-HOST switch is set to Enabled. If the OSMETA GK01 still doesn&#8217;t power on with your device, you may have to manually start it before turning on the host.</p>
  2308. <p>Once Windows has loaded, open Device Manager and under Display Adaptors should be <em>Microsoft Basic Display Adaptor</em>. This is your eGPU and you can now install your GPU drivers. If the drivers installed correctly, <em>Microsoft Basic Display Adaptor</em> should change to the name of your GPU.</p>

  2315. <p>If you are using an AMD GPU your eGPU installation process should be completed. If you are using an NVIDIA GPU and the eGPU is not outputting to an external monitor, you need to restart your device. Once restarted, you will likely see <em>Error 43</em> alongside your GPU that is listed in device manager. Run Nando4&#8217;s <em>nvidia-error43-fixer</em> to remove this error. Your system may require a restart, but should otherwise now be ready to use.</p>
  2316. <p>If you have a dGPU in the host system that is the same manufacturer as your eGPU, you will need to run DDU to completely uninstall all previous graphics drivers. Once DDU has been run, you should be able to run a single graphics driver installation process for both the dGPU and eGPU. If your dGPU and eGPU are from different manufacturers, this step is not needed.</p>
  2317. <h3>Performance and stability</h3>
  2318. <p>The performance and stability of the OSMETA GK01 has been excellent. Primary testing in this review was done with a Lenovo ThinkBook 14 G2, with an i5-1135G7 and 16GB of 3200Mhz of DDR4 RAM. The ThinkBook 14 G2&#8217;s 11th Generation Intel CPU was the first implementation of PCIe Gen 4 and newer generation Intel and AMD systems may have even better bandwidth than this system. Testing was done on both Windows 10 and Windows 11, and no performance or stability issue differed between operating system. I tested primarily with an AMD RX 6700 and NVIDIA RTX 3060 Ti as well as a GTX 1070 Ti, RX 580, GTX 1650 and even confirmed an old NVIDIA QUADRO 2000 working with the system.</p>

  2322. <p>Bandwidth of the PCIe Gen 4 slot is excellent, although it did appear to drop when under heavy load or when running a hardware accelerated program like Google Chrome or Discord on the internal display of the laptop alongside the eGPU-accelerated external dispay. Performance in games and benchmarks has been outstanding regardless of this.</p>
  2323. <p>The M.2 Port used for this review in the ThinkBook 14 G2 is connected directly to the CPU. This will be the case for most PCIe Gen 4 systems. In some systems a Gen 3 port may be routed through the PCH. This isn&#8217;t ideal but still offers excellent bandwidth and performance. Furthermore, it appears that running a PCIe Gen 3 GPU in a PCIe Gen 4 M.2 port will result in lower bandwidth than if that same card was run in a native Gen 3 M.2 port.</p>

  2330. <p>The M.2 adaptors used do produce a fair amount of electrical noise. At one stage in a different host device, I had the USB dongle of my wireless mouse plugged in directly above the OCuLink port and it was unusable under heavy load. I plan on adding some shielding to the adaptors, and this review will be updated as required.</p>
  2331. <p>The only major issue I encountered was when using an Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti. Not long after changing cables, my system suffered from a repeated disconnecting and reconnecting of my external monitor and eventually locked up the entire system, requiring me to hold the power button to manually shut down. Leading up to these crashes, YouTube reported a large amount of dropped frames. I am unsure as to what caused this issue, but I have a reasonable suspicion that it was because I did not disable the eGPU in device manager prior to disconnecting it. If I am able to accurately isolate this issue, it will be updated.</p>
  2332. <p>I had no stability or performance issues with an AMD RX 6700.</p>

  2361. <p>The OSMETA GK01 offers outstanding performance at a fraction of the cost of a Thunderbolt eGPU, and is a far more refined M.2 solution than the fixed-cable offerings from ADT-Link. If your system has a spare M.2 port and you are willing to modify the bottom panel of the device, you can create an outstanding external graphics card solution that is affordable, versatile and unrestricted by bandwidth bottlenecks. Furthermore, the continued popularization and adaptation of OCuLink by laptop manufacturers is an excellent direction for the eGPU market.</p>

  2380. <description><![CDATA[The TH3P4G2 is an excellent option for an all-in-one eGPU docking station solution or platform for a custom eGPU enclosure. The compact design enables the use of SFX power supplies, without limiting GPU length. Furthermore, the USB hub, daisy-chain support, power delivery and internal fan header combined with the superior JHL7440 Thunderbolt Controller results in what is probably the most feature-rich eGPU available on the market. While SFX power supplies are readily available, they are more expensive than their ATX counterparts and are not easy to come by second hand. Furthermore, even the shorter SFX PSU cables are an eye-sore without an enclosure shielding them. Aesthetics have always been a downside of an open design.]]></description>
  2381. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Introduction</h3>
  2382. <p>CloudHero and EXP GDC recently released their first Thunderbolt eGPU adapter &#8211; the <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/thunderbolt-enclosures/exp-gdc-th3p4-thunderbolt-gpu-dock-review/" target="true" rel="noopener">TH3P4 Thunderbolt GPU Dock:</a> a compact and affordable eGPU that offers daisy-chaining support and a modern Thunderbolt controller. Now the pair have kindly provided an updated version, the TH3P4G2, for review. </p>
  2383. <p>Since this review was originally published, the updated TH3P4G3 was released. The only notable difference between the G2 and G3 are the removal of the &#8216;internal&#8217; USB, front panel and fan headers and some corresponding PCB changes. Performance and usability described in this review are otherwise identical between the two models. </p>

  2385. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2386. <h3>Design and Features</h3>
  2387. <p><span data-contrast="auto">The TH3P4G2 is a compact and feature-packed device. Measuring 164mm x 97mm x 160mm it consists of a single printed circuit board with a two-piece aluminium enclosure and a steel bracket for mounting an SFX PSU and bracing the graphics card.</span></p>
  2388. <div  class="x-container max width" > <div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623013718652.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623013718652.jpg"/></a>  </div> <div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2 last" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623013741336.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623013741336.jpg"/></a> </div> </div>
  2389. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2390. <p>The rear interface has a USB Type A 3.0 Port, the Primary Thunderbolt 3 port with 60W Power Delivery, and the Secondary Thunderbolt 3 Port with Daisy-Chaining support. The &#8216;internal&#8217; interface has an ATX 24PIN and ATX 8PIN Power Input, 4Pin Fan Header with a low and high speed switch, a 5Pin FBSL-5P (Front Panel) Header and an unsoldered 4Pin USB Header.</p>
  2391. <div  class="x-container max width" > <div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623005637729.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623005637729.jpg"/></a>  </div> <div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2 last" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623005608192.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220623005608192.jpg"/></a> </div> </div>
  2392. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2393. <p><span data-contrast="auto">It uses the same JHL7440 Thunderbolt 3 Controller Module found in the TH3P4, which is attached to the PCB by two M.2 connections. This Thunderbolt module unfortunately did not come with a dedicated heatsink, however a small 1mm thermal pad can be installed to bridge the controller to the aluminium enclosure, creating a simple and effective heatsink with little effort. On the underside of the PCB is a relatively large heatsink, which is presumably </span>resposible for cooling the power delivery components.</p>
  2394. <p>Since this review was published it has been noted that some consumers are receiving the TH3P4G2/G3 with a thermal pad pre-installed on the controller. Furthermore, some models are also being shipped with the JHL7540 Thunderbolt Controller. </p>

  2396. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2397. <h3>Setup and Installation</h3>
  2398. <p>Setting up and installing the TH3P4G2 is relatively simple. The steel bracket is mounted to the underside of the device with two included screws. An SFX PSU can be attached with 5 x 6-32 screws, which were unfortunately not included with the device but are easy enough to come by. A graphics card can be installed into the full-length PCIe slot and secured to the steel bracket with two more screws. I used a SilverStone SX500 and a Gigabyte GTX 1060 Mini OC. My host device was a ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 with an i5-1135G7 and 8GB of RAM.</p>
  2399. <div  class="x-container max width" > <div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220629010515020.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220629010515020.jpg"/></a> </div><div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2 last" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220629010501167.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/PXL20220629010501167.jpg"/></a> </div></div>
  2400. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2401. <p>Turning on the SFX PSU will cause a blue LED labelled &#8216;Standby&#8217; to activate. Once plugged into a host device a second green light labelled &#8220;START&#8221; will activate and power will then be delivered to the GPU. Hot plugging the device to my ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 initially caused an error in Device Manager, however restarting the laptop with the eGPU attached removed this error and Windows began installing the automatic GPU drivers. Once Windows has installed the drivers, the device is essentially ready to use, however I would recommend installing the latest drivers for your installed GPU and <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/pc-setup/guide-generic-windows-10-solutions-for-egpu-bsod-crashing-and-system-freezing-link-state-power-management-tdrdelay-tdrddidelay-nvidia-power-management-settings/" target="true" rel="noopener">following this guide</a> for advanced setup configuration.</p>
  2402. <p>The TH3P4G2 will cut power to the GPU when the host system is shutdown, however it will remain active if the host is only in sleep mode.</p>

  2405. <h3>Performance</h3>
  2406. <p><span data-contrast="auto">The JHL7440 Thunderbolt Controller often reports slightly increased bandwidth over older controllers, which can translate to better performance.</span></p>

  2414. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2415. <h3>Usability</h3>
  2416. <p>One of the best features of the TH3P4G2 is the inclusion of both a USB A port and a second Thunderbolt Port. This enables the user to use the eGPU as a hub and attach additional Thunderbolt devices downstream of the eGPU. I had positive results when stress testing all the available ports. I did this by attaching a Samsung T5 Portable SSD to the USB A Port and an Acasis FA-TB34 Thunderbolt NVME Enclosure to the Second Thunderbolt 3 Port. I installed and ran Unigine Heaven off of the Acasis while simultaniously benchmarking the Samsung T5 with CrystalDiskMark. I used Cuda Z to monitor the H2D and D2H bandwidth, which fluctuated by ~500MiB/s during the test. Furthermore, I installed Overwatch and Call of Duty: Warzone on the external NVMe enclosure and while having a wireless mouse plugged into the USB A Port. Both games performed very well from the daisy-chained device and I didn&#8217;t appear to suffer from any stuttering or freezing of the wireless mouse. As can be seen, pushing the bandwidth of all these ports results in a performance deficit.</p>
  2417. <div  class="x-container max width" ><div  class="x-column x-sm x-1-2 last" style="" > <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/TH3P4G2-Daisy-Chain-Bandwidth-Testing.png"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/TH3P4G2-Daisy-Chain-Bandwidth-Testing.png"/></a> </div></div>
  2418. <p>I decided to push the daisy-chain even further by adding more devices. In total I had three Thunderbolt devices (including the GPU and an NVMe SSD) four USB Devices, three audio devices and a monitor, all through one cable. Results were very good, and under general usage the system performed flawlessly. I was even able to play Overwatch, loading from the Thunderbolt NVMe Drive, without any stuttering or mouse freezing. Only when I attempted to play the nutoriously unoptimised Call of Duty: Warzone with this setup did I run into mouse freezing. However, this was illeviated by attaching the wireless mouse dongle directly to the laptop. There were no other issues with peripheral stability on the chain, and game-performance could potentially be increased in this scenario if I had output the monitor display directly through the GPU instead of via the dock. Performance was again impacted by the expansion of the chain and saw a decrease in H2D bandwidth, averaging 1600 MiB/s, with dips as low as 1300 MiB/s during heavy load. Overall the bandwidth management and overall stability of the TH3P4G2 is excellent, and produced a one-cable-solution almost as good as when <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/thunderbolt-enclosures/thunderbolt-4-docks-egpu-daisy-chaining-and-the-one-cable-dream/">daisy chaining through a Thunderbolt 4 Dock</a>.</p>

  2424. <p>Much like the original TH3P4, CloudHero and EXP GDC have made the TH3P4G2 more affordable than purchasing an eGPU from mainstream manufacturers and <a href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4g2">can be found on AliExpress</a> for ~$150 USD.</p>

  2439. <description><![CDATA[The TH3P4 has some excellent features. It is extremely small, enables the use of cheap and portable DC power supplies and contains the elusive ability to daisy-chain Thunderbolt devices with the eGPU itself being the first device in the chain. The inclusion of the superior JHL7440 Thunderbolt Controller was a welcome surprise in such an affordable device. However, the design and complete lack of bracing for attached devices leaves much to be desired from an otherwise welcome addition to the market.]]></description>
  2440. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3><strong>UPDATE: Since the introduction of this eGPU dock, EXP GDC have released two more versions of the TH3P4 which can be found <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/thunderbolt-enclosures/exp-gdc-th3p4g2-thunderbolt-gpu-dock-review/">here</a>. The original TH3P4 reviewed in this post is now commonly branded the TH3P4 Lite and includes a simple GPU bracket.</strong></h3>
  2441. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2442. <h3>Introduction</h3>
  2443. <p>Outside of buying a second hand mainstream eGPU, low cost third-party options for the Thunderbolt 3 interface have been relatively limited. The <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/adt-linkr43sg-tb3" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">ADT-Link R43SG-TB3</a> was the first readily available and affordable Thunderbolt 3 external graphics enclosure, followed more recently by the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/wikingooegpu" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">Wikingoo eGPU</a>.</p>
  2444. <p>Now there is a third option. Designed by CloudHero and marketed under the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdc" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">EXP GDC</a> brand, best known for mPCIe/M.2/Expresscard eGPU adapters. This being their first Thunderbolt 3/4 eGPU adapter &#8211; the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">EXP GDC TH3P4 Thunderbolt GPU Dock</a>.</p>
  2445. <p>At the time of this review the total cost including delivery was <a title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" rel="">US$126</a> making it the lowest cost Thunderbolt eGPU available.</p>

  2455. <p>Power is delivered through either a standard 5.5mm x 2.1/2.5mm DC Barrel Interface or PCIe 8 Pin ATX PSU input. An ATX 24Pin to 8Pin Adaptor is included.<span class="NormalTextRun SCXW147592781 BCX0"> The TH3P4 has two Thunderbolt USB-C Ports and supports Thunderbolt Daisy Chaining. This is a rare and interesting feature to include in an eGPU. The port closest to the DC input is the primary connection and supports power delivery to the host device, however I am unsure what the actual delivered wattage is. For testing, I used a generic 12V 10A DC Power Supply.</span></p>

  2460. <h3>Setup and Installation</h3>
  2461. <p>Setting up and installing the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> is very simple. First, install your GPU in the PCIe slot and then attach your preferred power source. Then attach the eGPU to the host device via the Thunderbolt Port located closest to the DC input. Windows will recognize the device and begin installing drivers required for the installed graphics card. <span data-contrast="auto">Once Windows has installed the drivers, the device is essentially ready to use. However, I would recommend installing the latest drivers for your installed GPU.</span></p>

  2466. <h3>Performance</h3>
  2467. <p>I tested the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> with a Gigabyte <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on eBay" href="https://egpu.io/go/nvidiagtx1650" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">GTX 1650</a> OC Low Profile. This is one of the most powerful cards available that does not require additional power delivery beyond the PCIe interface. It also highlights the portability of using an external DC power supply.</p>
  2468. <p><span data-contrast="auto">The <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> uses the JHL7440 Thunderbolt Controller, which has seen better bandwidth than older controllers and has on occasion resulted in slightly better performance. In <a class="aalmanual" title="Download link" href="https://cuda-z.sourceforge.net/" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">Cuda-Z</a>, I was getting around ~2400Mbps Device to Host and ~3000Mbps Host to Device.</span></p>

  2471. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2472. <h3>Usability</h3>
  2473. <p>One of the most interesting features of the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> is the inclusion of a second Thunderbolt Port, capable of daisy-chaining. This enables the user to attach a GPU as the first link in the chain, and then attach additional Thunderbolt devices downstream of the eGPU. I had a mixed experience with this. Attempting to attach a native USB flash-drive directly to the second Thunderbolt port resulted in no device being detected by Windows. However, I was able to daisy-chain an <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/acasistbu412" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">Acasis TBU412</a> Thunderbolt NVME Enclosure, a Samsung Portable USB SSD and a <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/wikingooegpu" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">Wikingoo eGPU</a> Enclosure without any apparent issues.</p>

  2475. <p>An issue I encountered was the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> reporting different charging levels to Windows. When hot-plugged, it appeared to charge my ThinkPad L13 Gen 2 without an issue, even under load. However, if I shutdown or restarted with the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> connected, both BIOS and Windows would report slow charging from the device. The included instruction manual stated that &#8220;if charging is required, do not connect Thunderbolt Port 2&#8221;, however I was able to maintain normal charging with a daisy chained device. All-in-all, the power delivery is a bit of a mystery in this device.</p>
  2476. <p>Finally, the primary downside of the <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> is the physical design. The complete lack of GPU bracket support makes the device an awkward platform. However, it appears that not long after this review was published, a version of the TH3P4 with a very simple metal enclosure that the GPU can be mounted to was made available: </p>

  2478. <h3>Conclusion</h3>
  2479. <p>The <a class="aalmanual" title="Check price on Aliexpress" href="https://egpu.io/go/expgdcth3p4" target="_self" rel="nofollow noopener">TH3P4</a> has some excellent features. It is extremely small, enables the use of cheap and portable DC power supplies and contains the elusive ability to daisy-chain Thunderbolt devices, with the eGPU itself being the first device in the chain. The inclusion of the superior JHL7440 Thunderbolt Controller was a welcome surprise in such an affordable device, and with the now optional metal bracket, it allows for a compact and expandable eGPU option.</p>

  2495. <description><![CDATA[The Wikingoo eGPU is a pleasant addition to the eGPU market. As a standalone unit, it is priced well below the popular eGPU enclosures from big brands. The inclusion of a standard ATX power supply mount is excellent. ATX power supplies are cheap and readily available, or even able to be recycled for free from old systems. Furthermore, there are no limitations to graphics card size or power delivery, and the open case can be used as is, mounted under a desk or be modified into a sealed enclosure.]]></description>
  2496. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Introduction</h3>
  2497. <p>Before the introduction of the R43SG-TB3, the Thunderbolt 3 eGPU hardware market was dominated by large hardware companies such as Razer and Gigabyte or specialty hardware manufacturers like Sonnet or Mantiz. These enclosures offer a complete system, with inbuilt power supplies and refined aesthetics. While being well designed, these devices are often expensive and restricted by either size limitations or GPU power delivery capability. The R43SG-TB3, while not being pretty, resolved these issues by being affordable and versatile.</p>
  2498. <p>Recently I came across a Wikingoo eGPU. It is slightly more expensive than the R43SG-TB3, but still much cheaper than the prefabricated eGPU enclosures from mainstream manufacturers. Its open design and standard ATX PSU mount make it unrestricted by size or power limitations.</p>
  2499. <p>There are two models available on AliExpress that are very similar in design, one laballed Wikingoo and the other labelled Vikinyee. I have ordered multiple of both and have received the Wikingoo eGPU every occasion. I presume the Vikinyee is an older model that has likely been replaced by the more refined Wikingoo eGPU model.</p>
  2500. <p>At the time of this review, the Wikingoo eGPU cost approximately $250 AUD ($186 USD) with postage included.</p>

  2582. <p>The Wikingoo eGPU is shipped mostly unassembled. Three screws mount the two aluminium chassis panels together and two more mount the Thunderbolt Controller to PCIe Board. A standard ATX power supply can now be mounted to the vertical chassis panel, and mounting holes are designed to the PSU can be oriented so that the fan is facing towards or away from the GPU. I would personally recommend that you orient the PSU so that the fan is drawing hot air away from the Thunderbolt Controller’s heatsink. The spacing between the GPU and PSU is enough that it won’t have restricted airflow. Adding a graphics card is as simple as any eGPU and is held in place with two included thumb screws.</p>

  2590. <p>Annoyingly, the included countersunk screws are the wrong size for a traditional ATX-PSU. The chassis is assembled using the included countersunk M3 screws, but four additional countersunk 6-32 screws are required for mounting a PSU.</p>
  2591. <p>The Wikingoo eGPU comes up under the Thunderbolt Control Centre as &#8216;TB4 eGFX&#8217; and uses a JHL6340 Thunderbolt 3 Controller. It has no power delivery to the host device. Instead, the Thunderbolt Controller Board is powered exclusively by the host and does not interact with the eGPU PSU in any way. One of the downsides of this is that if your host-system outputs power when off, the green LED on the Thunderbolt Controller Board will remain on indefinitely.</p>

  2597. <p>The Wikingoo eGPU PCB is reasonably well labelled, but not all the PCB traces end in soldered pins. The red button is a toggle on off switch that powers the GPU. If the first two pins in the PS-ON 4-pin bank are bridged, it will override the red power switch. This could easily be used for an on-off switch in a custom case.</p>

  2607. <p>In terms of operation, the eGPU must be powered on before being plugged into an active host system. If it is plugged into a host and then turned on, the Thunderbolt Controller Board will be recognised, but the eGPU will not.</p>
  2608. <p>An interesting feature that I am unable to test is the inclusion of a jumper cap and three-pin header on the main PCB, with labels for positions A and N. According to the product description, the N jumper-pinout is specifically for use with NVIDIA cards in Windows Bootcamp.</p>

  2615. <h3>Performance &amp; Usability</h3>
  2616. <p>All testing was done with a Lenovo Yoga Slim 7i Pro 14.</p>
  2617. <p>The Wikingoo eGPU has exceeded my expectations in many ways. I was first concerned that it would be flimsy without the rigidity of a complete case, but once assembled the system is surprisingly sturdy.</p>
  2618. <p>It can be hot plugged, cold plugged, will display the Windows login screen, support Windows sleep-states and can even display my system BIOS from either a cold startup or system restart. The later of these was something that my Aorus Gaming Box 1080 could not do. Furthermore, it works exceptionally well while being daisy-chained through a Thunderbolt 4 dock.</p>
  2619. <p>Performance and stability have been nothing but exceptional. I have had no stuttering, system freezes, crashes or BSODs while using the eGPU daily for two weeks now. For reference, I had applied the TdrDelay and Nvidia Power Management tweaks before using the eGPU.</p>
  2620. <p>H2D speeds are excellent, and performance is on-par with my Aorus Gaming GTX 1080 when using the same GPU.</p>

  2627. </div> </div>
  2628. <p>Things to consider:</p>
  2629. <ul>
  2630. <li>Has no power delivery / does not charge the host device.</li>
  2631. <li>Thunderbolt Controller Board stays active if host device provides power during shutdown state.</li>
  2632. <li>If the eGPU is turned on while already plugged into an active host, the GPU will not be recognised until it is re-plugged or the system is restarted with the already on eGPU still plugged in.</li>
  2633. <li>If you turn the eGPU off halfway through the shutdown process of Windows 10, your system will freeze and not shutdown at all.</li>
  2634. </ul>
  2635. <p>&nbsp;</p>
  2636. <h3>Verdict</h3>
  2637. <p>The Wikingoo eGPU is a pleasant addition to the eGPU market. As a standalone unit, it is priced well below the popular eGPU enclosures from big brands. The inclusion of a standard ATX power supply mount is excellent. ATX power supplies are cheap and readily available, or even able to be recycled for free from old systems. Furthermore, there are no limitations to graphics card size or power delivery, and the open case can be used as is, mounted under a desk or be modified into a sealed enclosure.</p>
  2638. <p>The Wikingoo eGPU is now equipped with an RTX 3060 Ti and Seasonic 80+ Platinum PSU. It has become the eGPU for my personal system, which <a href="https://egpu.io/forums/builds/2021-14-lenovo-yoga-slim-7i-pro-mx450-11th4ch-rtx-3060-ti-32gbps-tb4-wikingoo-egpu-win10-21h1/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">can be seen here</a>.</p>

  2689. <h3>eGPU + Surface Laptop Studio</h3>
  2690. <p>As soon as I unboxed my base model [i5-11300H, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD] I connected it to my Razer Core v2 + Radeon Pro W5700 eGPU. This was plug-and-play without any user interactions. Windows 11 automatically initiated the PCIe connection over Thunderbolt 3/4 and installed the Radeon drivers for W5700. Also worth noting is Power Delivery (PD) through the very same Thunderbolt cable. The Razer Core V2 provides 65W PD which matches the SLS perfectly (same amount as Microsoft power adapter).</p>

  2696. <h3>Surface Laptop Studio NVMe M.2 SSD Upgrade</h3>
  2697. <p>Next upgrade was the internal solid state drive. Microsoft doesn&#8217;t make it easy to remove the bottom case. There is no visible screw anywhere, but in total there were 9x Torx T3 screws and a silver plastic strip of adhesive that make it challenging to remove cleanly. Below were the steps I took to access the NVMe M.2 socket on the SLS:</p>
  2698. <p>1. Two rubber strips cover 7x T3 screws (3x by the hinge area and 4x by the trackpad area). Once the rubber strips are out of the way, you can remove the T3 screws.</p>

  2722. <p>One unfortunate news is the lack of PCIe 4.0 support for this NVMe M.2 socket. I was hoping to use an ADT-Link R43SG 4.0 which doubles the bandwidth of version 3.0 and nearly triples that of Thunderbolt 3/4 (22Gbps).

  2797. <p>Taking this Late 2020 M1 Mac mini apart is very similar to the 2018 model. Flip it upside down then pry the black plastic base cover would expose six TR6 screws. The are three antennas with separate cables going to the logic board headers, one of the antennas is mounted on the bottom metal shield. The antenna connector is secured in place with a T6 screw.</p>

  2824. <p>I was most interested in identifying the Thunderbolt controller/s. It&#8217;s a nice surprise to see two Intel JHL8040R controllers providing dedicated connection to two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Last but not least is the power supply. Apple uses the same internal 150W (12V~12.5A) PSU as found in the 2018 Intel Mac mini.</p>

  2868. <p>It was plug and play to get the Nvidia eGPU going in Windows 10 2004. I upgraded GeForce drivers to the latest version. Next thing I checked was Intel Thunderbolt Control Center. We may need to wait a bit longer for newer versions to recognize Thunderbolt 4 controllers because version 1.41.987.0 still shows Thunderbolt 3.</p>

  2878. <p>Thunderbolt 4 is not necessarily faster than Thunderbolt 3. As with most things we&#8217;ve learned about this technology, every component of an eGPU setup can make a difference. You&#8217;d want the best host laptop possible in order to extract the most performance out of the external graphics card. The go-to configuration is direct Thunderbolt connection to the CPU. Ice Lake and now Tiger Lake provide that ideal connection. With the exception of Alienware and Apple 15-in/16-in MacBook Pro, most H-CPU laptops route their Thunderbolt connection through the PCH and the manufacturers don&#8217;t care how it performs in eGPU mode.</p>
  2879. <p> <a class="egpuio-auto-embeded-link" href="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/hp-spectre-x360-4k-i7-1165g7-thunderbolt-4-rtx-2080-ti-aida64-system-stability-task-manager-scaled.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="egpuio-auto-embeded-image" src="https://egpu.io/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/hp-spectre-x360-4k-i7-1165g7-thunderbolt-4-rtx-2080-ti-aida64-system-stability-task-manager-scaled.jpg"/></a> </p>
  2880. <p>CPU TDP and its cooling system greatly effect eGPU performance. I&#8217;m a firm believer in iGPU-only ultrabook. There&#8217;s only one main component to cool and it keeps things simple regarding graphics switching.</p>

  2941. <p>This HP Spectre X360 [<a href="https://bit.ly/3mb7iQ2" target="true" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">15-eb1043dx</a>] is a very good example of what a perfect eGPU host in late 2020 should be. At $1,599 I wish it came with the i7-1185G7 processor instead. I will be testing out another Tiger Lake laptop with the higher spec CPU.</p>
  2942. <p>Here&#8217;s a 2 minute video I took tonight playing Witcher III [4K @ Ultra settings]. Gameplay was very smooth without any issues. Pardon the dog toy squeaking noises; my dog was laying nearby in the kotatsu. The media console has a Philips Hue light strip behind it. I had Hue Sync running to change lighting according to video and audio.</p>
